Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of the homes we clean get the visit in spring and fall, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
Priced by stories, not by a visit. The bundle costs less than two trips, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate from those details.
On the day, the crew finds a few things that move the quote. A third story or a steep roof means the work takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes, picture windows and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush, and a clogged run can lead to water damage at the fascia. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the last item: ordinary cleaning solutions will not remove it, so we say so up front rather than bill for something that will not come off.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our crew uses purified water, so the glass dries without streaks. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal from the street.
Here is how a recent quote worked out for a residential property with mature trees over the roof. The owner had the gutters and the outside of the windows done in one visit. Pollen had built up on the south-facing glass and as a paste in the downspout elbows, which is common in our area. The quote covered the gutters, every downspout flushed, and every reachable pane. Nothing was added later. Ask us for a written estimate, and we will walk through the same checklist with you on the phone.
Spring is the hardest season on the trees. A residential property with a lot of trees will show a film on the glass and paste in the gutters by late May, and that is the reason most of our spring bookings land in late May and June. The same crew handles window cleaning services for both the exterior glass and the gutters, so there is one quote, one visit, and one invoice.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
For context, nationally. Angi puts the average US gutter cleaning at $168, most homeowners paying $119 to $234 (Angi, 2026). Exterior-only window cleaning runs roughly $4 to $10 per window, or $100 to $250 for a typical home, with $3 to $5 per window more on upper stories (Angi, HomeGuide, via Google AI Overview, Oct 2026). Priced by stories, the most common model, a two-story gutter cleaning sits around $150 to $300 nationally. If a quote you are holding sits far outside these, ask what is driving it.
On every house we work, the first scoop out of a gutter ends up on the wall below it. We put the glass last so it ends up there once.
Gutters first, glass last. That is the order on every job our crew does, and it is the reason we book both with one crew instead of sending two.
What we see from the ladder. When we clear a run, the leaves, the grit and the black water that sits under them come down the wall and across any window below it. Flushing a downspout throws more of it, in a stream, onto the panes beside the outlet. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash them again before we are off the ladder. So we do the roof blow-off, clear the gutters, flush every downspout, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. The panes under the downspout outlets are the last ones we touch on the house.
Two things we do differently from a window-only crew. We rinse the siding under each run before we move to the glass, so nothing left on the wall washes down onto it in the first rain. And we do the top-floor glass from the same ladder position as the gutter run, one setup per side of the house, which is where the bundle saving comes from: no second trip, no second setup.
Downspouts flushed, screens rinsed, sills wiped, bags hauled. None of it shows up as a line item.
Gutters. Roof blow-off where debris sits above the gutter line. Every run hand-cleared, not just the visible stretch from the ground. Every downspout flushed with water until it runs clear, and a blocked one cleared on the spot where it can be reached from above. A downspout that feeds a buried drain line is checked at the outlet; clearing the buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it. Debris bagged and taken away. Before-and-after photos of each run, sent to you before the crew leaves.
Windows, exterior only. Every reachable pane on the outside of the house, cleaned with a water-fed pole and purified water so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint. Frames wiped. Screens taken down, hand-rinsed and put back on request. Sills wiped. Upper-story windows done from the pole, not from a ladder leaned on the siding.
Not included, and we say so up front. Interior glass. Hard-water or sprinkler staining etched into the glass, which needs a separate mineral treatment and is quoted after the crew sees it. Post-construction paint, stickers or stucco. Skylights and solar panels. Pressure washing of siding, decks or driveways. Gutter guards: if a run is covered, lifting and reseating the guard adds time and is quoted by the foot before the visit, never on the day.
Twice a year for both, and the same two months, which is why one visit covers it.
Most of our customers in Palisades Park book regular cleanings twice a year, in the spring and the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our jobs the spring visit lands in late May or June, and the fall visit in November, after the last leaves drop.
At each visit we find something different. In spring it is the pollen film on south-facing glass and the paste in the gutter elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, which leaves clogged gutters and a wet leaf mat in the downspouts. Storms and wind seasons can move both dates by a few weeks, and we will tell you when we see it coming.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and those need a separate look. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frame and the glass, and that dust is what the crew sees most on the sills.
One customer books twice a year with no trees and sees a clean gutter run from one visit to the next. Another books three or four times a year under trees, because the sprinkler spotting and the needle load come back faster. Both are typical of what we see on our jobs, and the first visit tells us which schedule your house needs.
You will know the windows need attention when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Left alone, that can turn into water damage at the fascia. Either one is a good reason to call before the next scheduled visit.
Most two-story homes are done in a morning. You do not need to be there, and you get the photos either way.
The crew calls the day before with a two-hour arrival window, and again when they are on the way.
How long. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical house. Exterior windows on the same house run about the same again or a little more, so plan on a morning for a two-story home and most of a day for three stories or a house with a lot of glass. Gutters that have not been touched in years, steep roofs and wraparound porches run longer.
Before the crew arrives. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, so the glass is dry and the ground is not mud. Move cars off the driveway if windows face it. Keep pets inside while ladders are up. Unlock side gates. Nothing else; the crew brings its own water and power.
While they work. Gutters first, glass last, as described above. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. If something cannot be reached safely (a pane over a sunroom roof, a gutter run behind a tree limb) the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing.
After. Photos of every gutter run and the finished glass, sent by text or email before the crew leaves. The invoice matches the number quoted on the phone.
Send a photo and we tell you what it is. No argument about whether it rained.
Streaks. Purified water dries clean; a streak means something was missed, and that is on us. Send us a photo of it and we tell you what it is.
Spots that come back. Round white spots that return a day after cleaning are mineral deposits from sprinklers or hard water etched into the glass, not dirt. Cleaning cannot remove them; a mineral treatment can. The crew flags it on the visit so you are not surprised.
Rain the next day. Rain is distilled water and does not dirty clean glass by itself; what spots glass after rain is dust already on the frame or screen washing down. That is why frames and screens are done, not just the pane. If it looks worse after a storm, send the photo and we look at it.
Overflow after a cleaning. If a gutter runs clean and still sheets water over the edge in the next rain, the cause is slope, a sagging hanger or an undersized downspout, not debris. The crew notes what it saw and tells you; cleaning it again will not fix it, and we will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Your house. Ladder stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip or dents the siding. Screens go back in the window they came out of.
Neighborhood by neighborhood, with a lead time we say out loud, and a call before the truck turns in.
Our crew works across Palisades Park and books window and gutter cleaning for residential and commercial buildings throughout the city, and every job gets the same professional window cleaning. Booking starts with a phone call or a text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will return a written estimate. Most slots fill in the busy spring and fall windows, so book early if you are planning around a particular month.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside and calls before they arrive. Lead times depend on the calendar that week, and we will tell you the first open date when you call.
This is a residential window and gutter cleaning service, so the same crew handles the outside of each window and the full gutter run in one visit. We clean the outside of every window in the house, the frames and the sill, and we remove dirt from the frames as well. Gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit, with every downspout flushed. Our work is set up for residential properties and the homes that sit on them, and the same approach works on multi-story buildings and condos with clean windows and heavy gutter loads.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline. We will confirm the date, the stories and the window count, and send you the written estimate before the crew comes out.
Yes. Our crew does both jobs in one visit, so you get one quote and one invoice. Gutter washing services and glass work are booked as a single job. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so the dirty runoff from the gutters does not end up on clean glass.
We do not quote a figure over the page. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will send a written estimate.
On a Palisades Park house the outside carries grime, tree film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up on the frame and the glass between visits, and they are the reason the outside needs its own cleaning.
Our customers here usually book in late May or June for the spring visit and in November for the fall visit. Across New Jersey most jobs fall in spring and fall as well, but the exact timing depends on your trees and the weather.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the leaves, grit and black water run down the wall, so we rinse the wall and then clean the windows below.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the same visit, and you do not pay extra for them.
No. The windows inside the house stay out of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. If you want interior and exterior glass handled together, ask us about it when you call.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
